Translation for Musicals and Theater Performances

Translating content for musicals, operas, and theatrical performances includes scripts, dialogues, lyrics, and performance notes.

It is important to consider the stage direction, the actors’ delivery, and the rhythm of the music, while maintaining the context and cultural implications of the original work and translating it in a way that is easy for the audience to understand.

When adaptation is necessary, a balance must be struck between creative sensibility and fidelity to the original text, and the work is carried out by translators who majored in creative writing or language and literature and have experience in performing arts.
